Exchanging Devils

By Hameed Abdul Karim

‘La Idris – Na’am Iblis’ was the cry that precipitated King Idris’ overthrow from the throne of Libya. What the slogan meant was ‘no to Idris – yes to the devil’. It was a catchy slogan as slogans go, like Indira Gandhi’s clarion call ‘Garibi Hatao’ (eliminate poverty). But as Sheikh Hamza Hanson pointed out, you got to be careful of what you ask. See what the Libyans got in Colonel Gaddafi. It looks like as if their prayers had been answered.

First it was the Gulf of Tonkin and many years down the line it was the Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs) that Saddam Hussein was supposed to have built up with a capability to bomb London in a matter of minutes, according Tony Blair. In between there have been many other lies that have resulted in the deaths of thousands of non-Whites and massive destruction of their property by the US Corporate Empire and her satellite nations such as Britain. All these 'enterprises' brought in billions of dollars to individuals and families running the US arms and security industry.

Your decision to explore Islam and Muslims’ contribution to France is, for once, the right decision you have made though your motive, in your xenophobic madness is to denigrate Islam and demonise Muslims.
But after the announcement you seem to have become a tad too quiet on the subject. Probably some guy would have whispered in your ear that the whole thing can boomerang on you.

But let’s keep the investigation going. For starters, you might ask yourself where you got your short hairstyle. And when you ask around you might get to know today’s ‘men’s hairdo’ came from Muslims who came over from Baghdad to Europe to find cures to diseases that afflicted Europe. If you are stacking US dollars somewhere like your friend ‘brother leader’ in Libya you might notice the gentleman in the note has long hair. That was the hairstyle for men then. And when you take a wash just try to figure out where the soap you use came from. Soap was one of the many things Europeans brought from the Arabs during the Crusades. And while Christian Knights were butchering ‘infidels’ (Muslims) in Jerusalem enlightened Christians were sitting at the feet of Muslim scholars in Spain.
